Joe and Heidi are homeowners in desperate need of some landscaping help in season 2 episode 3 of Fix This Yard. With a backyard that is overgrown and neglected, the couple is eager to transform their space into a beautiful oasis for their family and friends to enjoy.
As the episode begins, host Amy Devers and her team of experts visit Joe and Heidi's home to assess the situation. They quickly realize that the yard is not only unappealing, but also unsafe. There are several tripping hazards and uneven areas, making it a difficult space to navigate.
Amy and her team begin by clearing out all of the overgrown weeds and shrubs, creating a blank canvas for their project. They then tackle the uneven ground by leveling it off with a bulldozer. With the space now cleared and level, the team begins to design a new layout for the yard.
The first step in the new design is to create a path that connects the front of the house to the backyard. This involves laying down pavers and creating a small patio area with a fire pit. This space will serve as a gathering spot for the family and their friends.
Next up is the creation of a wooden deck. This will be located just off of the house and will provide a place for outdoor dining and relaxation. The team also adds some built-in seating and a pergola for shade.
One of the most challenging aspects of the project is the creation of a retaining wall. Because the yard is on a slope, the team needs to create a wall to hold back the soil and prevent erosion. This involves digging deep into the ground and securing large blocks of stone in place.
With the retaining wall complete, the team turns their attention to the planting and landscaping. They add a variety of colorful plants and flowers to create a vibrant and inviting space. They also install some outdoor lighting to highlight the features of the yard and create a welcoming environment at night.
Throughout the episode, Amy and her team work closely with Joe and Heidi to ensure that the final product meets their expectations. They take into consideration the family's needs and preferences, creating a functional and beautiful space that the whole family can enjoy.
In the end, the transformation of Joe and Heidi's yard is nothing short of miraculous. What was once an overgrown and neglected space is now a beautiful outdoor oasis that the family can be proud of. Thanks to the expertise of Amy and her team, Joe and Heidi now have a yard that they can enjoy for years to come.
